Great Websites

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm bored with the internet. What sites are you TB'ers currently into? (Other than TB of course!) It seems like I go through the motions when I sit in front of a PC...DrudgeReport and local news, then to The Onion for some comedy, then to boing boing.org for something different, then to Wired to get my geek tech fix. Then to TB and finally Warwick.de..boring!! Plese let me know of any great sites out there! Please no porn or off-color sites. Just something interesting..

www.somethingawful.com can be quite good sometimes. I normally go there to read the Photoshop Phriday and Comedy Goldmine.

www.notalwaysright.com is good especially if you work retail.

www.bash.org has some great quotes from IRC.

Fashion SWAT is really funny, too. I got in trouble at work for reading the International Male one and laughing so hard...

If you're the type to appreciate weird and obscure recordings you can get your mitts on some rare gems from the 365 Days Project here.
